Another symphony from the estimable Emilie! Its movements are:

I. Adagio - Allegro con spirito
II. Marche Funèbre
III. Scherzo
IV. Allegro

... and many thanks to britishcomposer for the recording.

Hah! I missed it, while I was waiting for Kiel to tell me the date of broadcast ! So thanks for posting this. (Its my orchestral set being used). And the good news is that there is a second performance due to take place by another orchestra later this year.

[Alan Howe]

Well done, Roz. It's important work that you've been doing.

[rosflute]

Thank you, Alan. Having just listened to the recording, I was interested to note that the important element in the last movement, the Triangle, seems not to be made to stand out (or, at least, I can't hear it!).

[Alan Howe]

I didn't notice it either. Can you give the time-point (on the recording) at which it should be audible?

[Mark Thomas]

It's another strong work by Mayer, especially the first two movements, but I couldn't detect a triangle either.

[rosflute]

The triangle makes its first appearance at 32.05 and then again at 32.46 [until 33.12] and thereafter at similar moments in the music.
With this answer, I have tried to add a photo of the relevant page in the score but, as  I failed, I suggest you visit the page on my website that already shows it with the triangle part.

thanks all for your interest, Roz.

[Alan Howe]

Now that you point it out, it's definitely there, but virtually inaudible - so it's a balance problem.

[semloh]

Triangle or not, it's a fine work. I especially like the nobility of the first movement. My belated thanks to britishcomposer.

[Richard Moss]

After a somewhat unintended delay, have just listened again to my download copy and appreciate britishcomposer's upload even more - many thanks.  Does anyone have the durations for each movement - I can't access the upload source file to check if the details are there as my PC says it has an 'incompatible SSL protocol' or some such message!!!

Thanks

I chopped it up a while back and arrived at:


1. Adagio - allegro con spirito (14:29)
2. Marche funèbre (4:39)
3. Scherzo (4:18)
4. Allegro (14:02)

[eschiss1]

Does the Scherzo have a further indication, btw, in the score (e.g. Allegro, or somesuch)? Likewise the funeral march...

[Richard Moss]

Ilja,

Many tks for the timings info - much appreciated.
